I still think that Ovi deserves the Conn Smythe (if they win) and not just for sentimentality like Crosby's first one.
He's only 2 points behind Kuznetsov, but I think he does more in his own end than Kuznetsov does, plus he is the undisputed leader there. His tenaciousness has rubbed off on all the players and they have all elevated their game. Their post game interviews all allude to how his attitude has been a major factor in getting them this far.
It's awesome to watch him dig for pucks like a dog on a bone. Inspiring almost.
PS: No way that MAF wins the Conn Smythe now if they lose. Vegas needs to win for him to win it.
